WRONG-FOOTED. Luiz de Oliveira, a coach for the Athletics West track team, says he has been fired by Nike Inc., owner of the club. De Oliveira, 36, coached world-class runners Mary Slaney and Joaquim Cruz, both members of the team based in Eugene, Ore. Ian Campbell, director of athletics for Nike, said the Beaverton sports shoe company and de Oliveira failed to come to terms on a new contract.
